A Little Newspaper History in
Connection With the Sylvester
Case.
The three morning and the three
evening papers which furnish the peo-
pie of Minneapolis with news are
huStling for the elusive item with a
hustle which leaves but a bare picking
for the weekly papers. For a reporter
to get an exclusive sensation is like
finding money in the street. Mary Syl-
westerns leap from the third story of a
hotel to save her virtue from
a lecherouS villain furnished all
the elements of a bowling sensation,
and the way in which some of the pa
perS let the precious moroccan escape
them and the frantic efforts of others to
Secure a SCOOP" furnish a vivid illus
tration of the situation The girl took her
leap at 3 Il. IN. Tuesday and four hours
later a GLOBE reporter was on the spot
and on to the affair. He was pulled Off
the track, however, by the appeal of
DR.. K%ilvington, who feared that
hurry would escape if given
warning through the newspaper, and
vas promised that he should have ian

day, and then he could have Miss Syl-
westerns statement of the affair from her
own lips, besides there was no danger
of any one else getting it, etc. He
yielded and lost an opportunity of dis

editor did not appreciate what
he. was losing and so refused
to hold his paper or get out al extra.
During the day some One took the trouble
to go to the Journal office and relate the
story that a woman had jumped from a
window. The result was a column of
matter in Which just this fact was
stated, with a detailed account Of efforts
to find out why she jumped strung out
under a displayed head like the tail of
comet. That same day A. J. Blethen,
the mogul of both the Tribune and
Journal, who, according to himself,
has achieved some reputation as a news
paper man, was Informed of the affair
by a friend of Miss Sylvester's. He was
instantly Smitten with the scoop fever
as badly as any item hunter that ever
worked on a paper. He took
every precaution to see that
the Journal, in which he owns
more stock than he does in the Tribune,
should not get a smell. He %abbrogated
to himself the place of city editor and
reporter, anu dI ~ d. H.,
with a stenographer leaped on
the sensation with both feet
He visited the spot also, interviewed
everybody, got the age and weight of
all the witnesses, drew a diagram, and
at 2 a. IN. the next morning left the
office with the proud consciousness of
having shown the ''boys how to do it,
having three columns and a half
of Historically displayed. badly
loaded and insanely illustrated
''stuff' and a burning editorial
to his credit. Alas for his fond expec-
tations. The hell hounds of the oppo-
sition had it, too. The GLOBE had 1.-The

Pioneer numbered up and threw a half
a column at the somnolent public. Then
the evening papers all got it, and they
have kept it to all appearances, for a
week has passed and the sensation has
not been allowed to lie or get any dust
upon it.

The Board Of Trade Wants Lower
Telephone Rates.
The board of trade, after it's summer
vacation, came together yesterday morn
ing, and, as usual, jumped upon some
thing. Maj. j. B. Bassett, with many
other sufferers, has come to the conclu-
sion that the Telephone company has
been charging exorbitant rates. He ac-
cordingly fired on a resolution which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this board
the schedule price charged for telephone
service in this city is eXorbitant, and that a
committee be chosen by this board to confer
with a committee from the chamber of COM
merce and the telephone company with a
view of obtaining Il reduction in price or an
entire abandonment of its use in the city.
j. B. BaSsett, W. E. Steele and A. B..
Barton were appointed. A letter was
received from j. j. CorcOran, of the st.

ing that an invitation be extended

Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, and Prof.
Goodwin Smith, of Canada, to express
their views to the board, as they have
been invited to do by the ST. Paul
chamber of commerce, on the question
of commercial union or free trade with
Canada. The communication was re-
ferred to the committee on city affairs.

made a full confession of his guilt. His
plan was to sell the best IS shoes in the
store for 50 or $3.50 and pocket the
money, or partof it, himself, instead of
turning it over to the store. Howard, it
seems, ''stood i'll" with him, and would
purchase two OF three pairs for a song,
then sell them to his friends at a fair
profit and divide the profit with Clark.
Howard was quite reticent, and further
than acknowledging that he had re-
ceiYed the shoes from Clark would say
nothing. =
Clark, when questioned by an in
spector, admitted having sold some
eighteen or twenty pairs of fine shoes
for 81 per pair, and handed Over these
names, they being the persons to whom
he had sold them: Barney O'Riley, one
pair; Harry King, one; Louis De Long,
one; Tom Howard, six; Billy" a
waiter in the Vend0me, two; "Ole," a
clerk in a neighboring store, two; Ter
rance McCuskey, two; Walter Hunt,
two. The money received for these
shoes he had pOcketed, he said, and
later on spent it for various things. He
claimed that he had been led into it by
Torrance McCuskey and Walter Hunt,
employed in Walwrath & Cleveland's
crOckery store, next door. They were
seen and denied most emphatlcally that
they had ever suggested any such Il
thing to Clark.
"All l know about the matter" said
McCuskey, lis this: Some time ago L
did get a pair of shoes of George, and
paid somewhat less than the market
price, l presume. But this | thought
was all right. as George was a friend
of mine and | did not think he would do
anything crooked. He told me that he
had hard work to get his salary, and so
l supposed when he sold the Shoes to
me that he charged them up to himself.
But l never would have got a pair
there if l had supposed anything would
have come from it. So far as | am con-
cerned, | knew of nothing but what was
all right and buSineSS-like."
Mr.. Chestnut was not able to tell just
what had been taken from the store, but
the inspectors are inclined to think that
young Clark has made away with some
$500 or 800 worth of goods. His father,
a highly respectable man, called upon
Mr.. Chestnut last evening with d view
to settling the case, but it is not known
yet what will be done. George Clark is
only about seventeen years of age. and
until this affair has been looked upon as
perfectly trustworthy, Mr.. Chestnut and
the inspector are rather inclined to
think that he was lead into wrong do
ing and will investigate very closely.

A FULL HAND.
The Coming Grand Jury Will Pic
mic With These.

The Hennepin county grand jury,
which meets next Tuesday, has laid out
for it a vast amount of work, and as
many of the cases are of considerable
Importance their deliberations will be
watched with interest. In addition to
the Quinlan-Hoy monkey-wrench bust
ness, which will probably be ventilated,
there are three rape cases, in addition
to the case against Lou hurry for at
tempted assault upon Mary Sylvester.
The names of the three men are Herbert
Sletfas, George McCrumb and John APP
pleby. Then there is the case against
Alexander Hamilton, charged with at
tempting to murder Tom Moore.
Among the other cases are those against
ID. NJ. Robbins, conducting a rendering
factory at the transfer in such shape as
to make it a nuisance. Thomas O'Neil,
causing the death of Andrea Olson by
neglecting to hitch his horses; Hugh
Clarity, assaulting Della Wise with a
revolver. In addition to these there are
a large number of forgery, embezzle-
ment, larceny, Sunday liquor selling
and selling without a license cases.

A COLORED MAN SHOT.
A Game of Scraps" With a Sensa-
tional Ending.

Last night about 1890, Officer Meal
pine was startled to see a colored man
come crashing through the second story
window of 235 Third avenue south, car
rying sash, glass, and all with him to
the sidewalk. McAlpine grapped him
when he broke away and run toward
Third street. The officer Immediately
fired, but not bringing his man, fired
again, by this time he had turned
up Third street, going north, when the
officer again fired, this time bringing his
man. He was Immediately taken to the
station. where his wounds were exam
ined, and he was found to have re-
ceived two bullets in the groin. 1t
seems Lieut.. Nelson and Officer Schroe-
der were inaugurating a "pull' on the
place, where a game of "crap shooting''
was in progress, and after arresting the
two dealers, Charles White and Frank
Cousins, the rest became alarmed, and
made a bolt for freedom. The party
were all safely booked at the station.

KILLED BY A BLOW.
1t Was an Unknown Man Who
Killed John EmanuelSon.

1t now appears that John Emanuel
son, who died at st. Barnabas hospital
Saturday morning under suspicious cir
cumstances, came to his death from the
result of a blow administered by some
person unknown, in AnOka county, dur
ing the early part of August. An inquest
was held at Gleason 81 ByOrum's
morgue yesterday morning, and a ver-
diet returned as above. The witnesses
sworn were the physician who attended
him, his two sisters, and a friend who
had known him in the old country. One
of the sisters, Josephine Emanuelson,
swore that her brother had told her one
day that he had had trouble in Anoka
county and had been struck on the head
by a man, who was afterwards arrested
and fined. DR.. Dunn, who held the
post mOrtem examination, stated that
he had found all the organs healthy ex-
cept the brain, which had the appear
ance of having suffered from a heavy
blow. Efforts will be made to find the
man who struck EmanuelSOn.

A YOUNG
How George Clark and Confeder-
ateS WOrked n SharD Game.

ateS Il sharp GdinG.
Inspectors Lawrence and Kinney ran
into a case yesterday which has already
resulted i'll the arrest of two well known
young men, implicated many others,
and may develop many peculiar trans
actions. The young men now under
arrest are George Clark, a clerk in
Chesnut'S shoe store, residing on the
corner of Eleventh avenue south and
Fifth street, and Tommy Howard, a
restaurant waiter, who has been in st.
Paul for some days, at Gillette's restau-
rant. 1t appears that some days ago the
attention of the inspectors was called to
the fact that young Howard was dispos-
ing of a good many pairs of fine shoes,
and that the transaction looked very
suspicious. Going to st. Paul, they
placed him under arrest and were bring
ing him up on the train, when he made
statements that young Clark was really
the guilty party. He claimed that Clark
had been taking 50 shoes from his EN-
ployer's store and selling them to him
for 81 per pair. Howard was
placed behind the bars and the
inspectors visited Mr.. Chestnut, had a
talk with him, and determined to watch
Clark. Yesterday morning he was ar
rested and lodged in jail, where he
